But what makes this case so special is that just moments before the train struck the man, it was all captured on camera by a freelance photographer, who took a chilling photo of the victim’s last seconds alive.

It seems like cameras are always around when someone falls on the tracks. There was the video of a lady who just walked onto the tracks with her baby in her arms. There is another of a mother whose daughter was in a baby carriage when it rolled onto the tracks in front of a speeding train.

There are also some heroic tales of men pulling drunks off the tracks, and others of people who just weren’t paying attention.

In all the videos, however, we learn a few things: Be aware when you’re on the platform, and life is short, you should never take it for granted.
